    Going Home
    Apr 7 2023
    Join Tamatha and Chelsea, in the the last deep-diving conversation of Grand Exit's very first season, in considering the many facets of 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆. This episode takes on: what home means, what 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 has to do with it, and where it fits with living, dying, and living on. The two touch on the feeling of being "at home" in a place, what makes it so, which places have hit it home for them and - perhaps - why that might have been. Plus, they lightly explore, and draw on others' diverse and creative contributions around, where we return to after this life. In this season finale, you can expect to hear shaky voices and sniffles alongside joy, clarity and power. And many thank-you's to the special people who set this stage. . . . .

  • 'Til Death Do Us Part...And What Comes Now, with John Haase

    'Til Death Do Us Part...And What Comes Now, with John Haase
    Mar 23 2023
    This episode features John Haase, Tamatha's husband, who's been in the financial services industry for the past 20 years. (You'll hear that in the way he shows up in this one!) Perhaps more prominently, John's also the CFO the Haase family, a role he plays differently these days as he prepares for his wife's eventual death and takes on more parts of parenting their daughter, all while also working to stay in the Now with Tamatha and those he loves. As with all Grand Exit episodes, you can expect to hear shared laughter of people who "see" each other through life's stuff, depth and levity: together in a single thought, and the exploration of corners we tend to otherwise avoid. -- Digging what you're hearing?

  • Trying on Hope

    Trying on Hope
    Feb 24 2023
    In this episode, you can expect to hear a hot take or two on: where Tamatha stakes hope; and hope in relation to action, to gratitude, to connection and more. Plus, an inspiring way-of-life story from Chelsea’s 100-year old friend Aunt Honey; and what Gwyneth Paltrow might say about all of it. The hope? That listening to this conversation sparks a self-inquiry for you, shared with someone who matters to you, as the content here is a great way to start thinking and talking about how you wish to be honored - while living, really. This episode is rich with deep tracks, with contradictions and incongruences, and a clear invitation for you to follow this lead and start conversations of your own in this vain. -- Digging what you're hearing?
